Yan Chuan people!
Upon hearing this, Lü Bin blushed with embarrassment, but he was clearly not new to dealing with this kind of situation. His eyes showed almost no sign of panic, and he immediately laughed and drank a cup of wine with Zhao Cheng.
"Mr. Zhao, who is this friend of yours? I might know him too."
"My friend's name is Zhao Wu."
"Ah?" Lü Bin laughed even louder, saying, "What a coincidence! Um... you've drunk with Zhao Wu before, haven't you? His alcohol tolerance is..."
"Zhao Wu doesn't drink alcohol."
"No way?"
Lu Bin swallowed again and immediately said, "Brother Zhao, you don't understand. Zhao Wu doesn't not drink; it depends on the person! When I first met Zhao Wu, he didn't drink either. Many people are like that; they pretend to be teetotalers with people they're not that close to, but once they get to know them, they're full of alcohol."
“I’ve known Zhao Wu for twenty years,” Zhao Cheng said, his smile fading and his face expressionless.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhao, you've really blown your own horn!"
Lu Bin couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up, swayed over to sit next to Cai Yilu, patted Cai Yilu's thigh, and laughed, "Boss Cai, Brother Zhao is hilarious!"
Lu Bin thought Cai Yilu would laugh with him, but he saw that Cai Yilu, like Zhao Cheng, was expressionless and had no smile on his face.
Lu Bin looked at Xia Qi and Qiu Shu again and saw that the two girls also had indifferent expressions.
The atmosphere was getting a little awkward.
Lü Bin quickly explained, "Brother Zhao, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to make fun of you, I just think what you said is a bit exaggerated. You've known me for twenty years... then Zhao Wu is only in his twenties, isn't he?"
“I’ll be your witness!” Zhao Wu suddenly said.
Only then did Lü Bin notice the only person in the room he hadn't been paying attention to.
Zhao Wu said in a serious tone, "I can testify that Zhao Wu is indeed in his twenties, and he is indeed with..."
He glanced at Zhao Cheng and said, "I've known this person for twenty years."
Lü Bin asked hesitantly, "And who are you?"
Zhao Wu moved his tongue in his mouth, spat on the ground, and said, "I am Zhao Wu."
Lü Bin: "..."
Lü Bin wiped his sweat and laughed, "We can't joke like that..."
Just then, a group of figures rushed up to the second floor and then swarmed towards this side.
It was impossible to tell exactly how many people there were at a glance, but the second floor, from the stairwell to this spot, was packed with people, most of whom were carrying sticks.
Zhao Cheng glanced at those people and saw that the people in the front row were the same ones who had been chased away by Cai Yilu's men earlier.
One of them looked increasingly familiar to Zhao Cheng, who couldn't help but laugh and say, "Here comes the one looking for trouble."
*Snap!* Cai snapped his fingers.
No response.
Click!
Cai struck again, but still no one emerged from the surrounding area. Instead, several screams came from the crowd.
"You think four thugs dare to cause trouble in Changsui City?"
A young man with swollen eyes stepped out of the crowd, stomped on the ground, and then a scream rang out.
Cai Yilu then saw that all four of his thugs had been knocked to the ground.
The man with swollen eyes shouted, "Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?!"
Zhao Cheng lightly kicked Lü Bin and said, "Ask him who he is."
Lü Bin was taken aback and asked, "Why do you want me to ask?"
"You have strong connections."
"I……"
Unable to save face, Lü Bin mustered his courage and asked, "Who... are you?"
Snap!
The man strode forward, slapped Lü Bin across the face, and pointed at his own nose, saying, "I am Park In-di, and my father is Park Gyeong-il!"
"So you're General Park's son!" Cai Yilu stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you, my ass! You're the one who had me beaten up just now!" Park Moo-di pointed at Cai Yilu and roared, "Hold him down!"
After he finished speaking, the crowd rushed over and surrounded Zhao Cheng's table, and a group of people pressed Cai Yilu down onto the table.
Park Moo-di walked up to Cai Yilu, stepped on his hand, and said, "Don't you like snapping your fingers? Someone, chop his hand off!"
"yes!"
"When Park Gon joined the army, he was just a cook. He worked diligently and risked his life for the country for over twenty years, finally rising to the rank of General Geonchung, a fourth-rank official. Now, with the state banquet approaching, his son is about to commit murder in Changsui City. I'm afraid his whole life has been wasted!" Qian Qianren said.
Zhao Cheng slowly stood up, Xia Qiqiu followed suit, and Zhao Wu stood in front of the three of them, his hand already gripping the hilt of his knife.
Upon hearing Zhao Cheng reveal his father's background, Park Moo-di looked over, but his gaze only swept across Zhao Cheng's face before immediately landing on Xia Qiqiu and Shu's faces.
It was clear that Park Moo-di was still slightly drunk. He sneered, "If you want to save your friend, that's fine. Give me these two girls, and I'll let you go today."
Zhao Cheng's expression was extremely serious as he said, "Invincible, Invincible, you've always loved causing trouble for your father since you were little, and I didn't expect you to still be the same now."
"Don't pretend you know me, I don't know you!"
"I'm giving you this one chance; I'm helping you."
"Stop pretending, you son of a bitch!" Park Moo-di waved his hand and roared, "Beat all the men to the ground! Take the women away!"
Zhao Cheng sighed and said softly, "Zhao Wu, don't let it bleed."
"Hmm," Zhao Wu responded, drawing his sword.
The sword had barely been drawn when a commotion suddenly arose from behind the crowd.
"Get out of my way!"
"They've blocked the way!!"
"Where did all these brats come from? Get out of here!!"
The crowd parted at the back, and a group of armored men came out to clear the way, followed by a group of old men.
Lü Bin was quite frightened by the scene and quickly retreated to lean against the railing on the second floor. Looking down, he saw that the first floor and the zither platform were full of Da Jing soldiers.
It was as if the entire brothel had been occupied by government troops!
"Where is the young prime minister? Is he here?!"
"Young Prime Minister! Ah Cheng!!"
"Acheng! Is Acheng there???"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng took two small steps forward, staring blankly at the people who were walking quickly towards him.
"You are... Uncle Bi..."
"You are... Uncle Song!"
"Uncle Park!"
"besides……"
"Hahahaha, it really is Ah Cheng!!" The leader immediately rushed over, grabbed Zhao Cheng like a child, and threw him up hard.
Ouch! My back!
"Old man, your back hurts, don't try to be strong, let me carry you!"
"Let me hug you too!!"
By this time, Park Moo-di's men had been scattered, and Cai retreated all the way to Lü Bin's side, while Park Moo-di, who was standing there dumbfounded, was stunned.
He knew all the people who came...
Because one of them is his father!
General Jianzhong, Park Gin!
Song Cheng, a third-class garrison commander!
Central base general Bi Fansheng!
There were several more, each a general of the fifth rank or higher in the Jingguo Kingdom!
this……
What's going on here?!
"Holy crap, I can't carry this anymore!"
Park Gun put Zhao Cheng down, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Good lad! Five years have passed, and you've grown into a man!!!"
